64 A Tragedy Cut Too Shor (2/2)
”I am just wondering how you became such a feared deity in our world with that kind of attitude.” I bluntly tell him.
”Why? Is there something really wrong with my attitude?” Lucifer asks.
”Yes, you act like the king of demons and more like an old grandma living in a farming village.” I plainly say so.
Seeing Lucifer becoming rock as he hears that satisfies me enough and I start walking towards the portal that is supposed to lead us out of Hell.
”Danny, let's go.” I yell.
”Y-yeah!” He says while looking at Lucifer (who is still a statue) with an awkward smile. Then, as he catches up with me, he whispers in my ears, ”That was kinda harsh.”
”Why?”
”I mean, you called Lucifer an old man despite his young appearance. Do you know how much effort he puts into trying to look young?”
”However much it is, it is just waste of effort.” I plainly say, ”If anime has taught me anything, it is the fact that old men are badasses.”
I mean, Inuyashiki is an entire show about an old man who is badass doing some badass stuff.
”And besides,” I say, ”Trying to look young is stupid, especially when you have got a great face like his.”
Danny says awkwardly, ”It's kinda weird to hear that out of someone like you.”
”Why is that?”
”Just that it sounds like something an elder sister will tell you when she scolds you for trying to play with her make-up.”
That … kinda … sounded right.
”You are an only child though, from what I know at least.”
I mean, I am an only child from what I know too. I have never had an 'Ara Ara-chan', I mean, Onee-chan, and neither have I ever socialized with anyone who did, so I don't know why that sounded accurate to me. Anyway,
”Let's get out of here already.”
”Y-yeah!” He agrees with me and we step into the portal.
As I step into the portal, the one thing I need to make sure of is not coming in contact with Roswaisa. From what the Doctor said, he will tell her to kill me, or try to at least, for the sake of making a connection with me. That could be troublesome.
And of course, the first thing I see as I come back to Earth is Roswaisa.
”What the-” Danny tries to give a generic surprised reaction while I sigh.
”Hello, Angel-san. Please tell me if you want to kill me or not.”
”Kill … you?” Roswaisa asks with her hands at her chin as she leans on the railings of the roof we have ended up on, ”Why would I do that? More importantly though, there's something that doctor wanted me to ask.”
That doesn't sound anything I want to answer then. Before I say it though,
”Let's see, uh, yeah,” she looks at me and says, ”You are more handsome.”
Thank you! I mean, I know that already, but thank you!
”So, what's your name?”
Why is this routine starting to remind me of all those times Danny's girlfriends left him for me?
”Well,”
Doesn't seem like she'll let go unless I give her an answer so, here goes,
”Irium Glice.”
